What images does the poet use to convey the idea that the water is scarce?

What poem are you referring to?

If this question is from the poem 'Going For Water' then this answer will be perfect for your answer...

There are two points for this.....make own sentences according to the question given....they are:

1) There is a dearth of water - it is conveyed when it is told that the poet and his friends have to go very far to find water.

2) Because the poet has compared the droplets of the water in the brook to precious things like pearls and silver blade.
